Last update:
Hello everyone! A nice update for Type today. I hope you enjoy it! New - Always on Top: A new button lets you keep the app on top. You can configure it to appear only when active in the Settings. Thanks, A M and Jitty91, for requesting this! Improvements - Revamped Settings: Type now features the modern macOS settings layout with a sidebar. - Enhanced Onboarding: The onboarding process now includes date configuration and a direct link to the Manual. Thanks, Peter and Sean, for the suggestion! - CMD+W to Dismiss Type: You can now use CMD + W to close Type. Thanks, Dan, for the suggestion! - Customizable Submit Behavior: Choose whether Type stays visible or dismisses when adding an entry. Thanks, Kye, for the idea! Fixes - Fixed Import Issues: Some users couldn't import text files. This is now resolved. Thanks, Seraphim, for reporting this! - Restored Option Key Shortcuts: A recent update prevented the Option key from being used for global shortcuts. This has been fixed. Thanks, Emilio, for flagging this! - Fixed Hotkey Helper: The shortcut helper now correctly indicates that shortcuts must start with CMD, CTRL, or Option. - macOS 15.0 File Loss Warning: Due to a macOS 15.0 bug that caused Type to lose file references (resulting in disappearing notes), the app now displays a button with more details on how to resolve the issue.
